Red Dead Redemption Remastered: a mirage or a real possibility?
Players with Xbox One S/X or Xbox Series X/S can enjoy hardware and software improvements allowing to have a form of remaster, but no “official” remaster was released by Rockstar. But for several months, rumors indicate that Red Dead Redemption Remastered or Remake could become a reality.
